Getting Started
We have learned of different tech tools that can be used for instruction, student production and for student learning activities. Now what?
Some ideas to consider:
* Use an existing lesson. By doing so, you will be able to determine if the tech tool enhanced or detracted from the learning goals
* Keep it simple. It's your first time, so keeping it simple will make it easier to troubleshoot if issues arise. It's also better for pacing and scheduling.
* Consider creating a sample to show your students. It will give them an idea of what you expect. And because you created it, you will have experience using it.

Rubrics as Assessment
We like rubrics - it provides clear and exact information on the final product to students before they get started. There are different purposes for rubrics and different types to select from, depending on your learning goal.

Types of rubrics include:
Holistic Rubric - Sample
Analytic Rubric - Sample
Single Point Rubric - Sample 1
Single Point Rubric - Sample 2
Rubric Checklist - Sample
You may also want to consider a weighted rubric, which allows the teacher to emphasize the importance of some components over others.

Getting Started
Things to consider as you design a rubric:
* What does the student have to 'show' you so that there is evidence of learning? - those are the components identified.
* At what level does the student have to perform to convince you they met the learning goal? - those are the levels (1-4)
* Which rubric is best suited for what you are trying to measure (checklist? holistic? analytic? single point?)
Big idea to consider
Here are types of products students will be assigned in school:
*Oral - speech, presentation
*Written - paper, worksheet
*Visual - poster, padlet, prezi, popplet, piktochart, powerpoint (if it has pictures)
*Multimedia - powerpoint, web 2.0
If you design a rubric for each type of product, you could use it as a basis for every assignment you give. Customize it with added components specific to the assignment. Imagine if your LT, DLT, the school all had a basic rubric - the students would see the same rubric and have a good understanding of wh tis expected.
Last big idea to consider
If students, with your guidance, created the rubric, how much more powerful it would be! It would take longer to design the rubric, but students would have a very good understanding of what's expected, as they created it. "Distinguished" level in Danielson for sure!
